Lithuanian Museum of Ancient Beekeeping, Beekeeping museum in Stripeikiai, Lithuania
The Lithuanian Museum of Ancient Beekeeping exhibits 500 displays across six buildings, featuring traditional tools, equipment, and glass-sided hives with active bee colonies.
Founded in 1984 by beekeeper Bronius Kazlas, the museum preserves beekeeping practices dating from the 15th century through collections of tree trunk hives.
The museum grounds contain 25 wooden sculptures depicting beekeeping mythology, including representations of Lithuanian deities Babilas and Austėja carved by local artists.
Located in Aukštaitija National Park, the museum welcomes visitors from May through October, Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
The museum received three beehives with bees as a diplomatic gift from Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko to Lithuanian President Valdas Adamkus in 2005.
